3. The Setup Our stamper is made mostly of wood, coat hangers, duct tape, golf balls, fishing wieghts, a mouse trap, and a stamp. Our wood was just scrap wood found around the house. We bound everything together using gorilla glue and nails. We spent a little money on a stamp and duct tape.

4. Overview Our project starts by pushing a golf ball, which collides with two more golfballs. The final golf ball falls down a ramp. The golf ball knocks a cup off of a see- saw. This drops a weight attached to the other end of the see-saw. This sets off a mouse trap which stamps the stamp.

6. Energy Transfers Golf ball -perfectly elastic collision -Gravitational Potentail Energy to kinetic Engery Mouse Trap -Spring potential energy to rotational kinetic energy

7. Conclusion We spent about 6 hours in constructing the device, and about 4 hours planning it. We had some problems with: –Getting the wieght to fall on the mouse trap release. –Aiming the golf ball to hit the cup. Were gald we got to finish this class on a fun note.
